Back when you saw quality fighters and fights on Network tv. NBC Sports World,,NBC Ringside,CBS Sports Spectacular, ABC Wide World of Sports. Great Times!
both of these amazing fighters have since slipped away .. RIP to you two legends ! gone but certainly not forgotten ..and if they are? yall don't know shit about boxing :)
For all you born after 1990, this is how fighters used to win championships. By actually KO ing the champ. None of this just showing up and playing Patty Cake Patty Cake Baker's Man Now Come on 3 judges Gimme the Title.
Lockridge said after the fight that he was surprised that Mayweather did not show more heart in an effort to get up from the knockdown........Lockridge seemed to forget that he himself was knocked out cold by Juan LaPorte in 1981.
Stunning KO by Lockridge. Mayweather was regarded as the future star but got spectacularly derailed here. I think he fought the wrong fight and didn't use his reach advantage at all. He went on to have a good career though and was probably the best fighter at light-welterweight for a couple of years. He seemed to get more durable as he moved up in weight too. Lockridge was an underrated fighter with a strong punch. Listening to the end of this telecast he was studying at junior college and was a family man with a clean image. Sadly after his career finished he walked out on his family and went missing, ending up homeless. Seemed like he had it all together but who knows really, I guess? He died last year. Makes me think if it was the effects of his boxing career that caused him to go off the rails and undergo a change in personality? He had a lot of hard fights against the best around. He seemed a bright guy and didn't appear the type who'd fall apart post-boxing. Roger Mayweather also died earlier this year. He seemed a good guy and appeared to adapt to the end of his career a lot better than Rocky. He also had a lot of tough fights against strong opposition.
Lockridge got stopped in one round by Juan LaPorte a few fights before this one & it looked like Mayweather may have underestimated him. I think Rocky got mixed up with the wrong crowd, towards the end of his career, but you're right - he didn't seem the type to get influenced in that way.
I watched that fight live by myself at home. I liked Rocky as a boxer. He had class and was a good boxer in my opinion. I'd seen Mayweather box a few times before and I knew he was a badass. I figured he'd knock Rocky out pretty fast. But when I saw him coming in to the ring wearing those dark glasses and the black outfit with the skull and bones it kinda pissed me off. I didn't, and still don't, like that kind of showboating bullshit in the sport and couldn't help but want to see him get KOd, but I seriously doubted it was going to happen. When Rocky knocked him out I was stunned. I literally jump out of my chair and yelled at the TV with the crowd. This fight is still one of the most memorable I've ever watched. Roger set a trend that day that really did change boxing. I mean, look and Wilder and Fury. Both those guys were wearing ridiculous outfits when they entered the arena and climbed into the ring. Roger may not have been the very first to do that, but he was the first I saw do it and it's stuck with me. I still tend to cringe when I see boxers doing that showboating stuff. Thing about boxing is all that bullshit don't mean a thing once that bell rings. I think Roger learned that lesson that day and I'd bet that bout stuck with him too. He was a great boxer, and a great trainer, who earned my respect long before he retired his gloves and started training. I'm going to miss him.
I hate seeing a former champion... like this.......if I had all the money that some people make and don't deserve it because there assail fuckin assholes ..I would help him...somebody who has the means please help rocky lockridge great champion ..god bless you....
RIP! Greatest boxer of all time! Muhammad Ali would have lost before 90 seconds against Roger! Roger would have made Mike Tyson cry! Floyd Mayweather would have last 5 seconds tops!
Rest easy to both champs.. Much respect, 15 rounds wasn't easy. Even though it didn't end til the end.. One will understand wat those fighters use to go through

The old adage of taking away the title by KO is ignorant. Either you win by outpointing your opponent or knock them out.
Both men have now passed away.
RIP BOTH
RIP Roger

Rest in Peace!
RIP Rocky. RIP Roger.
Roger had to eat some humble pie after this. I can't believe both are gone.
Rocky Lockridge The man who knockout Roger Mayweather now is a Homeless
To me that's sad. Don't not make me happy the fact the he is an homeless i wish ther. Is a place boxing club for retailers fighters
Homeless maybe 4 years ago, but he moved in with his kids after the Intervention show.
He just died
arguably Marv’s greatest call
SAW it live @ my late 2nd uncles house. I was 10. Believe it was early Feb. 84.
damn rocky is a homless man now in nj
who came here after the crying meme?
honest man Me
Dang this dude is from the meme never tought he was a boxer and was a world champion this sick
RIP Champ!
Those 2 body blows before the knockout!
R I P ROCKY

RIP Rocky
He KO'd him with an elbow! This should be a no-contest! Watch the punch again!
Get some glasses kid. Right hand on the chin.
I. Watched it several times and I saw a clean, legal punch

he left his family for a pussy. and she had him hooked on drugs .

Fight starts at time mark 10 minutes.
"like I said before"....lol now we know where Floyd Jr. got that from....
Julio Cesar Chavez defeated both on championship fights.
Mayweather twice and Lockridge once.
The TV announcers and you TH-cam commenters blindly miss that Rocky devastates Roger with a right hand to the solar plexus first. Terrible job
Terrible job to you slob
Rocky did not like getting hit low very much.
Rocky didn’t get hit low
Floyd had just turned 7 years old 2 days before this fight.
Floyd wouldn't have lasted 1 round vs Lockridge, just like his uncle
@@brendaamaya2445 true.
And was already in the gym boxing at that age.
10:45
BEGIN!
RIP
Still keeping his 'hand' in though as a recent video of him knocking some brash young punk out shows.
some dude was messing with him when he was on the streets not knowing who it was and Rocky iced the guy with 1 punch just like that
RIP Champ
Marv was the perfect sports voice
Rip rocky
I would like to know if this is my fam cuz I'm a Lockridge to
Should have called himself the Fake Mamba
Roger was dangerous and talented, however Rocky was the true warrier and it showed
Bob Costas looks exactly the same today.
Roger Mayweather was the original Black Mamba.
I hate seeing a former champion... like this.......if I had all the money that some people make and don't deserve it because there assail
fuckin assholes ..I would help him...somebody who has the means please help rocky lockridge great champion ..god bless you....
I think rodger got up at 9 sec
RIP! Greatest boxer of all time! Muhammad Ali would have lost before 90 seconds against Roger! Roger would have made Mike Tyson cry! Floyd Mayweather would have last 5 seconds tops!
What the hell are you talking about?
Hey Marv do you wear your hair to bed?
One nil to Lou Duva but Roger would get him (and Vinny Paz) four years later in Vegas.
I think that's Pazienza in the ring @ 14:47 in the Black Main Eevents jacket and shades.
15 rounds mmhnn, now I do understand
Rest easy to both champs.. Much respect, 15 rounds wasn't easy. Even though it didn't end til the end.. One will understand wat those fighters use to go through
Rocky was wasted out of his mind
Floyd for no chin so if PAC catches him flush he's done..
He cant catch him if Mayweather hugs and runs all night
Wshh brought me here
pacman and floyd would be exactly the same,with pacman k'oing floyd.
HAHAHA...about that...
You don't know shhiit about boxing, Dxpt you noob lmaoo!
@@patriciabaldwin883 Mayweather hugged, grappled and ran all night and was outlanded 2:1. If he fought in the 80's he would be talking like his dad
RIP Champ
RIP
